Given the route between Hahn and Comiso (1 556 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Ryanair. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Arrival airport: Comiso Airport ""Vincenzo Magliocco"" (CIY)
  • Flight distance: 1 556 km (~1h57)
